Peace due to the rat..
Strive and survive in any condition.. one of the most populous and adaptable creatures in the world.. Kind of like the Chinese.
Even if you don't want to room with one, they are surely worthy of respect and some admiration in their own right~

P.S. "Chinese" New Year ?
It is the lunarsolar new year based on an ancient calendar made in China.. Wednesday/Thursday (depending on where you are) was new year for many cultures and nations..
These cultures and nations don't celebrate it in any fashion which can be called "Chinese".. It's like how english text is called roman script.. and we call our new years "New Years" where as people in other cultures call it "Roman New Year"..
Anyway, I'll check out some festivities as I will likely be passing through anywhichway.
